Humidifier Bottle

A Humidifier Bottle is a water reservoir device that adds moisture to dry medical oxygen before delivery to the patient. It attaches between the oxygen flow meter and the patient's oxygen delivery device, bubbling oxygen through sterile water to achieve relative humidity levels of 80-95%. Essential for patients receiving oxygen at flow rates above 4-6 liters per minute, it prevents drying of the nasal mucosa, pharynx, and lower airways, reducing discomfort and maintaining normal mucociliary clearance. Available in disposable sterile and reusable configurations, the bottle requires daily water changes with sterile water and proper positioning below the patient to prevent water carryover. Pressure relief valves protect against over-pressurization.

Oxygen set (gauge, humidifier, flow meter)

An Oxygen Set consists of a pressure gauge, flow meter, and humidifier that together regulate, monitor, and humidify oxygen delivered to a patient. The pressure gauge indicates cylinder contents, the flow meter controls delivery rate in liters per minute, and the humidifier adds moisture to dry medical oxygen to prevent airway irritation. Used with wall outlets or portable cylinders, this equipment is essential for all oxygen therapy delivery. Safe operation requires strict adherence to no-oil, no-smoking policies, regular monitoring of water levels and cylinder pressure, and proper orientation of the flow meter for accurate delivery.
